we are back now with senator lindsey graham. i want to ask you you, how do you think we are are doing in afghanistan and our plans there. >> the president's decision to accelerate withdrawal and leave a small force behind is a disaster in the making. our national interests are not determined by what we leave behind. there is only one afghan brigade that can maneuver itself. so a small force that just does training and counter terrorism how are the afghans going to get around the country without american helicopter and air lift support and if you take the intelligence gathering process out of the mix we go blind and that is a big chance for the enemy to regenerate. this is heart breaking to me. we fought so long and so hard. if we just followed the military commander's advice i think we could end this well. for four times now the president overruled his own commanders instead of having 40,000 surge forces he went with 30. you couldn't go to the east and the south at the same time. withdrew the surge forces last summer so you didn
